Shower Facility in Meijo Park - Nagoya

Hi .. I'll be traveling to Nagoya with my family.. Our flight will be arrive in the morning, and at the afternoon on the same day we'll be going to Takayama for night stay.

Since it is a quite long trip .. We are looking for place to have a shower in Nagoya. Near the Nagoya Station or Nagoya Castle is possible.

I read on Wikitravel website that Meijo Park has shower facility.
Can you help me by telling more about the facility:
Is there any fee to get shower here?
Whats the opening hours?
Is there any amenities (soap, towel) they provide - maybe at extra cost?
How can I find the shower facility inside the park?

Appeciate your help.

Thank you

Apparently there are public shower facilities in the park near the track. You can see a map here. Sorry, it's only in Japanese, but the showers are shown in the lower right of the map (シャワー).

Is there any fee to get shower here?

50 yen per 7 mins, you need to get a key at the vending machine and return it to the box when done.

Whats the opening hours?

8:30 to 17:30, entry until 17:00

Is there any amenities (soap, towel) they provide - maybe at extra cost?

It doesn't appear that any amenities are provided. There may or may not be soap for sale, so I'd bring your own.

Alternatively, I'd recommend the public bath house on the 4th floor of Centrair Airport. It would be way nicer and more convenient and is the only bath in Japan from where you can watch planes take off and land. Cost is 1030 yen for adults, 620 yen for elementary age children.
